Does anyone know of any apartments in Tempe az that accept section 8 ?

I was homeless, and was searching for churches and agencies that might help to get into a shelter, I saw on google that I could go to the Tempe library on Tuesdays, on that advice I went to the library, had a very helpful visit with an incredible young woman, who wanted to get me enrolled in the housing voucher program, unfortunately the lady who handled such cases was away for the week. she then found me a space in a shelter, she told me to meet her at 3pm right there at the library. at 3 she came and drove me to the shelter, I got enrolled, and for about a month I stayed at each designated shelter, the vacationing worker returned, contacted me, I had an interview, and within perhaps 2 weeks more, I was awarded a housing voucher, which follows the same guidelines as a section 8 voucher but only is for a 2 year duration, I found a spot immediately and moved in. after about six months I got a notification that invited me to attend a meeting one Saturday morning to determine what steps I would need to get myself in a more permanent situation, once the 2 year voucher expired. I met a lot of very interesting people who gave me tons of information to follow upon. However the most lasting events that occurred that day was not only the guests who spoke to us but my worker, and one other lady who was incredibly cordial to me, and as I neared my first year in the program was informed that my original worker was returning to her hometown, and I was to be reassigned, and to my surprise my new worker was the same incredible cordial lady I'd met at that Saturday meeting. just about two months prior to my first year on the temporary voucher, my worker phoned me, asked me if I wanted to come in and be installed permanently into the section 8 program. I was shocked beyond belief, she told me her superiors asked the caseworkers if they knew of anyone who they thought should be placed, she raised her hand and said my name!!!! WOW so at the end of my first temporary year, I am now on section, which I have been trying to enroll in for several years, I was able to be placed on a couple waiting lists, but now thanks to 3 unbelievably wonderful women. I am finally on section 8. Thank You Tempe Housing!!!!!
